    Abstract: A system for communicating vehicle-specific features to one or more personal electronic devices includes one or more controllers in wireless communication with a centralized computer system including one or more database for storing the vehicle-specific features. The one or more controllers execute instructions to undergo a passive wireless interaction with the one or more personal electronic devices. The passive wireless interaction involves determining the one or more personal electronic devices are located within a predefined proximity around a vehicle without human interaction. In response to undergoing the passive wireless interaction, the one or more controllers transmit one or more vehicle-specific features to the one or more personal electronic devices, where the one or more vehicle-specific features are unique to the vehicle.

    Abstract: A vehicle door assembly includes a door latch configured to secure the vehicle door in a closed position, and an inside door handle assembly operably connected to the door latch and configured, when operated in a first door handle mode, to release the door latch thus allowing for movement of the vehicle door from the closed position. A lock post is operably connected to the door latch and configured, when operated in a first lock post mode, to lock the door latch. A child safety lock switch is operably connected to the door latch and configured such that, when activated, the child safety lock switch prevents releasing of the door latch via operation of the inside door handle in the first door handle mode. One or more of the inside door handle or the lock post operates in a second mode to deactivate the child safety lock switch.

    Abstract: Systems and method are provided for generating warning signals for an autonomous vehicle. In one embodiment, a method includes: receiving sensor data associated with an environment of the vehicle; determining, by a processor, an encroaching object based on the sensor data; determining, by the processor, an impending event based on the encroaching object; selecting, by the processor, at least one warning device coupled to the vehicle from a plurality of warning devices based on the impending event, wherein the at least one warning device generates warning signals that are perceived outside of the vehicle; and generating, by the processor, an activation signal to the at least one warning device to generate the warning signals based on the impending event.
